Hello from Lake Jennings! The bite is best described as lousy for everything. A mixed bag of trout and cats are coming off the fishing float. The topwater bass action is best described as sporadic. The best bet is to have a rod rigged and if they blow up close you are ready but concentrate on plastics. I think that the cat bite will improve if anglers concentrate on fishing shallow and along side of submerged vegetation.

Best Trout Spots: Shadow Cove and the fishing float.
Best Trout Lures/Bait: Power bait on a 4 ft. leader dipped in scent.

Best Catfish Spots: Bird trees and Hermit Cove.
Best Catfish Bait: Night crawlers and mackerel. Use scent liberally.

Best Bass Spots: Dropshotting Sentry and Eagle Points in 25 to 30 ft. Topwater at the bank early and late and the Hermit Cove and the Shadow Cove Buoylines casting to the boils.
Best Bass Lures/Bait: Dropshotting 4" worms. Frogs and Pop-R's.

Notables: No fish over 3 lbs. reported.

Prognosis: Remember that we do not open until 5 PM on Friday. We will stock 1,000 lbs. of cats this Friday. As long as the cool weather continues I don't expect to see a red hot bite for the warm water species but the trout will last a little longer. Try using a water float and let the worm sink slowly to catch those suspended trout.

Water Temperature: 70 to 71 degrees on surface.

Current Schedule: We'll be open this Friday from 5:00 p.m. ??? Midnight, Saturday from 5:30 a.m. ??? Midnight, and Sunday from 5:30 a.m. ??? 8:30 p.m.

FREE Fishing Classes Open to the Public!

Lake Jennings Fishing University will hold a fishing class this Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The classes concentrate on what is working best. This week's class will talk about cat fishing. Most importantly, the classes are FREE! Ranger Hugh will be the professor.

Hello from Your Lake Jennings: This weekend the anglers struggled to get bit whether it was bass, cats or trout. Suprisingly a few limits of trout came off the fishing float and Shadow Cove. . The first signs of shad being chased on the surface by bass happened early mornings and a few fish were taken by topwater casting to the boils. The cats were the biggest disappointment. The back end of Hermit Cove and the bird...... Read More
